I had dinner the other night with a very pleasant couple, one of whom was a relatively minor ex-official of the State Department. Only after they...

It's increasingly looking like a hoax.

I loved it. Finished it in less than a day. I can't imagine how they could have a Season 2.

Umbrella Academy on Netflix is excellent so far (two episodes in) :up: like a fun blend of Watchmen, Travelers and The Royal Tenenbaums. Some of the...

Yes the Tories are in power though interestingly it is not generally Ministers you post about. But total bollocks that the Tories are worse, the...

Ant-man and the Wasp. Not great, but it had a happy ending and all is good now. :)

He ranks high up on national popularity lists of politicians and his popularity is reflected by the amount of time & space he gets on British TV and...

He's a backbench nobody who is widely viewed in the same was as a car crash gets rubberneckers. And I keep pointing out these muppets are nobodies...

Saw Alita: Battle Angel a few days ago. Gorgeous action-packed movie with all the characteristic Rodriguez problems: no real humour, soul, emotional...

That "lunatic backbench nobody" is one of the most widely covered--and, shockingly, also one of the most popular--Tory politicians right now, and, in...

What does that lunatic backbench nobody have to do with the UK election of last year?

Just another gross British assault on history, unchallenged by journalists and applauded by the public: ...

The following is a rant post: There was another mass shooting today. Five reported deaths and many first-responder cops wounded. But it's just...

I was disqualified from jury duty for the same reason, OG. I had a "negative bias" about the insurance industry, especially when it came to medical...

PS to Fuzzy: this thread isn't limited to the OP article, or the "....efficacy of states of emergency and the use of emergency powers to subvert US...

Ralph Breaks the Internet Not a bad movie, but the best scene happens after the story ends.

And everybody knows... Trump is an idiot, a fucking moron. What's even more disturbing are the sycophants and power mongers that enable him,...

What do y'all think about the Foxconn (WI) and Amazon (NY) pulling out of their big pending business deals? Some of the blame is being aimed at...

Don't have anything in your mouth when you read this; Ann Coulter said "The only national emergency is that our president is an idiot". What! ...

Well, he did it. :rolleyes: Trump declared a National Emergency just to build the damn wall. He's bypassing congress, and will take money...

It's just Little England.

Well, get used to it. You'll be small in plenty of ways.

Small is beautiful.

Great. Declaring an emergency over a non-emergency. That will go over well. Maybe this will finally wake up the GOP to the fact that they have a...

Make Great Britain Small Again or what?

Even better.

As I was walking home, a little girl jumped down from a huge pile of snow, landing right in front me. She fixed me with an angry look and snapped, "I...

In a no deal scenario, the UK will have to choose between violating either WTO rules or the GFA. When Varadkar says Ireland isn't going to accept...

We'll see. Renegotiating the WA is the only sane solution that allows an orderly Brexit with a deal and doesn't screw over Ireland. As Varadkar is...
